Right now I’m expected to tell you how “excited” I am to introduce Outdoor Enthusiast Lifestyle Magazine (OEL), the new, innovative Internet periodical dedicated to exploring – and, where appropriate, editorially opining on – all things of interest to the global community succinctly described in its title.

The capability of self-awareness is a prime indicator of the immense capacity for thinking and intellect that exists in the elephant. Elephants can recognize themselves in a mirror.
Why do elephants have such large brains – an average mass of over 5kg? Elephants display a wide range of emotions. They display grief. They mourn their dead. They display great joy. Elephants use tools and have been observed taking actions that meet the criteria for artistic expression.

If any artist is worthy of the description sui generis, it is Russell Chatham. Renowned for his landscape oils – often of the Montana wilderness – he has developed into an extraordinarily gifted lithographer (his works often consist of as many as forty color layers) and a writer of widely hailed short stories collected in Dark Waters, Silent Seasons: 21 Fishing Stories, and The Angler’s Coast.
